REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT.


To the Board of Sewer Commissioners, Norwood, Mass.


Gentlemen :-


By request of your board I herewith present you my annual report, as Superintendent of Sewers, for year ending, Jan. 31, 1910.


PARTICULAR SEWERS.


The work of connecting the various houses and manufactur- ing plants with the sewer, has been carried on with great care, my aim being to have these connections as tightly constructed as the main sewers, also to reduce the cost to a minimum. The average cost of house connections has been 60 cents per foot. The figure being based on the total cost of 154 connections ($5,080.54), which includes :


8,436 linear feet of 5 inch and 6 inch sewer pipe.


537 linear feet of 5 inch underdrain pipe.


Io brick underdrain traps.


Io brick manholes.


The following table will show detail of connections to date.

At the plants of Smith's Tannery and Plimpton Press it was necessary to construct settling tanks, to take care of the solids from their manufacturing sewage. These solids, which consist of grease, glue, dyes and chemicals, would do great dam- age to pipe lines and filter beds, if allowed to enter sewer.


These tanks were constructed of concrete and are doing the work for which they were designed, in a thorough manner.


MAINTENANCE.


The increase of connections has caused the department to give more attention to maintenance and operation of the pipe lines and filter beds. This necessitates flushing of pipe lines and siphon cleaning of pipe lines and manholes, sludge and settling tanks, also the filter beds.


Two hundred and twenty-five cubic yards of sludge has been removed from sludge bed, some of which was wasted in the near vicinity, the balance being removed by nearby farmers to be tried as a fertilizer.


From the beginning of operations at filter beds' two beds were used alternaterly up to and including, Dec. 15, 1909. A record of the dosings these beds received show a total of 31,800,000 gallons of sewage. While it was not necessary to change the beds at this time it was deemed advisable to rest them during the winter months.


A number of streets, where the sewer has been constructed, have caused some trouble by settling. They have been taken care of as quickly and with little expense as possible to put them in a thoroughly safe condition.


CONSTRUCTION.


The washouts on embankments, mentioned in last year's report, have been repaired, also embankments dividing filter beds have been loamed and seeded and at present time are in good condition.


Owing to the nature of land adjacent to sludge bed it was impossible during the wet season of the year to drain properly.


25


A permanent ditch, 1200 feet long, has been dug to a lower spot near Neponset river, and we now anticipate no further trouble from this source.


Changes in the grade of streets during the year have made it necessary to raise or lower eight manholes. At entrance to filter beds on Pleasant street a stone wall has been built separat- ing land taken by sewer board and street lines.


The past summer the sewer has been extended through Chapel street, as far as Winslow avenue, a distance of 1,696 linear feet. The following is the engineer's measurements of the work.


o to 8 cubic yds. earth excavation, 1,258


8 to 14 cubic yds. earth excavation, 36

The cost, including labor and material, was, $3,269 22


plus 10 per cent. for engineering, 326 92


$3,596 14


This amount figures the same as prices paid contractors for work on other sections.


Assuring you that Norwood sewer system is in a first-class condition, and thanking you for your uniform kindness to me during the past year, I am


Respectfully yours,


JOSEPH E. CONLEY.


REPORT OF TRUSTEES


OF THE


Morrill Memorial Library


NORWOOD, MASS.


REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE MORRILL MEMORIAL LIBRARY.


Another successful year in library work has passed. The circulation of books has had a constant and gratifying increase notably in the summer months. Three hundred more books were taken out in June than in June of the previous year and five hundred more books in July than in the corresponding month of 1908, while the circulation for August exceeded that of the previous August at an average of seven books a day. The circulation in 1904 was 31,408; in 1908, 39,805 ; this past year it was 40,919.


This increased circulation rendered it practically impossible for the librarian and assistant librarian to perform their duties in the thorough and efficient manner which proper and modern library standards demand. Therefore, the trustees found it necessary to secure assistance by the employment of another attendant for ten hours each week. It will be but a short time, however, before a second assistant librarian permanently em- ployed will become a necessity.


In the near future the trustees will be called upon to pro- vide increased stack room either by having the present stacks extended or by opening a children's room.


Many public libraries throughout the State have children's rooms, which materially add to the value and convenince of these libraries. If such a room is provided in Norwood it will neces- sitate an increased appropriation.


Changes in the periodicals, provided by the Library, for the present year have been made as follows, namely : "Puck" and "Judge" have been eliminated and the following added :


4


"World's Work," "National Geographic Magazine," "Scienti- fic American Supplement," "Hampton's," "Literary Digest" "Travel."


The benefits resulting from the more frequent purchase of books referred to in our last annual report have been so manifest that the plan has been made permanent. .


It is with regret the Trustees record the death on April Ist, 1909, of George H. Morrill, who erected and presented to the Town the beautiful memorial building which bears his name.


The Trustees desire to acknowledge and express thanks for the following gifts during the year.

TWENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE


Board of Water Commissioners


WATER BOARD, 1909.


JOHN F. CALLAHAN, CHAIRMAN. WILLIAM F. BAKER, CLERK. JAMES H. BUTLER. G. A. P. BUCKNAM, SUPERINTENDENT AND ENGINEER.


-


REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.


The Board of Water Commissioners herewith present their annual report for the year ending December 31, 1909, with a detailed statement of receipts and expenditures ; and as Trustees of the Sinking Fund, a statement of its investments.


At the annual town meeting William F. Baker was elected a Water Commissioner for the term of three years. The Board organized by the choice of John F. Callahan, chairman, and William F. Baker, clerk.


FINANCIAL STATEMENT IN BRIEF.

DEBT STATEMENT.


Bonds and notes issued,


$154,01I 4I


Bonds and notes paid, 73,71I 4I

Net debt, Dec. 31, 1909, Water rates collected in 1909, 23,930 83


$39,185 29


The receipts from water rates and sale of water for special purposes for the year are $23,930.83, or an increase over the previous year of $2,310.23. As trustees of the Sinking Fund, we report the following additions: $2,000.00 the annual re- quirements, and $1,361.18 the interest on investments, all in-


4


vestments being in savings banks and town notes. One note for $2,000.00 due Dec. 1, 1909, was paid from the Water Commis- sioners' treasury. Owing to the large extensions called for dur- ing 1909, the town voted to issue notes to the amount of $11,- 000.00, to be numbered 125 to 135 inclusive, and to expire $1,000 each year until 1920. These notes were issued and sold to the trustees of the Sinking Fund at par. The large balance that we show in our treasury this year is partly owing to the fact that we have been unable to finish all the extensions voted the past year. Our balance would probably be about $9,000.00 if this work had been completed. Hydrants and gates have had their usual attention, and we believe them to be in first-class condition.


We pumped about 15,000,000 gallons more water in 1909 than we did in 1908. This was due to different reasons : first, the dry summer ; second, the natural increase in water takers, as our increased income will show, and third to the fact that the Sewer Department must use a large amount of water to flush the dead end on their system to keep it clear. This last item we make no charge for.


Owing to the increase in pumpage, we have been obliged to run our plant seven days a week. If we pumped only six days as in the past, all that section of the town that lays northwest of Nichols street would be deprived of adequate fire protection dur- ing the first part of the week. By pumping seven days the reservoir is always full, and every part of the town receiving the maximum that the system provides for.


In the past we have called your attention to the benefits that the town would derive by the introduction of a general meter system. To recommend that all consumers be compelled to pur- chase and set meters, would be a change somewhat radical and sweeping and a hard ruling to enforce, but the utter fairness of the meter system cannot be questioned, as each service would be required to pay for the water used; then no one would let

their faucet run all night to keep it from freezing, or let their lawn sprinkler run ten or twelve hours a day without paying for it.


The Water Commissioners are of the unanimous opinion that the town should supply, free of charge, all water meters to be set in the future. We believe that the Water Department can afford to do this and not miss it. By appropriating $1,500.00 each year we can supply all new services and such other services as the Water Commissioners deem it for the best inter- est of the town. In this way in five years every service will be metered. If this plan is adopted, there should be another rate for the small consumer of $5.00, with an allowance of 20,000 gallons per year, or $6.50 with an allowance of 24,000 gallons per year.


All extensions to the main pipes have been made in accord- ance with the vote of the town, and the usual guaranty of six per cent. on the cost has been signed by parties interested in the water supply on these streets, with the exception of the Pleasant street extension from old Water street to Sumner street. This was voted by the town for the good of the service. This gives us two lines of pipe supplying the south end of the town, so that in case anything happens to one line, this section will still have a supply.
